Big thingt were in store when, early in 1945, Old Man Winter bowed out for that season with his last blast. Come what may, though, Tulane ' s students kept going with their activities — cramming a bit of study between hours of formals, campus nights, plays, and the like. Shining brass, notables such as Governor Davis, Lord Halifax, and others visited the campus; there were graduations and com- missionings; students elected their college and class officers; and all the things so much a part of collegiate days came at their times. It was January — Johnny Mann got caught by the photographer, but musing medics were more interested in cadavers than cameras. Evidently Tookie hadn ' t met Don yet. Macbeth fought with the Lily Whiters for the campus lime light. February seemed a much bigger month — you ' d think there was a naval unit some- where around, or why else would Rear Ad- miral Bennett plus a host of gold braid inspect lines of navy-blue uniforms? Along came the St. Valentine Day formal when Carl Cuddles Schumacher was crowned Darling of Tulane males. Newcomb, to aid the WSSF drive, polished windows . . . and a set of twins gave the illusion of double-vision. Dating was still the style, as Tulanians rushed the ' phone booths. Legs, too, retained their spot on the Tulane hit parade. IIR CaleH4af
